[iOS] index.html alerts on update install

[lostintangent]

@dylanvdmerwe That's bizarre! That is definitely not coming from the CodePush plugin, and it almost looks like the Cordova bridge is asking for a response to every native method call made from JS. Could you show an example of the CLI commands you are running to release an update to CodePush?

[dylanvdmerwe]

I think I may have used the android www folder for an iOS update. Would this make a difference? Will try and see if this is the issue later.

[lostintangent]

Yeah that would definitely make a difference :) This issue is likely a sign of a "bad" cordova.js file and/or bridge config, so if you accidentally sent an Android update to an iOS app, that would be a likely cause of this problem.

[dylanvdmerwe]

Yeah this issue is resolved with a correct iOS update file. Not one from Android.

[lostintangent]

Awesome! Thanks for confirming.

@dylanvdmerwe What do you mean by using the Android www folder for an iOS update? I'm getting the same alerts. I only have one www folder for both apps. And only one CodePush app for both platforms. @lostintangent

[dylanvdmerwe]

@alizahid you cannot do a single codepush to both platforms - they are different. You need one for iOS and one for Android.

[alizahid]

Oh, I saw in the documentation that you can choose multiple platforms for one app, like:

code-push release-cordova APP_NAME ios
code-push release-cordova APP_NAME android

I do remember a recommendation to not do that, though.

@dylanvdmerwe So, you're suggesting I create multiple CodePush apps and then I can release from the same www folder?

@alizahid, could you please look at #189?
We've discussed the same exception and for now there is merged microsoft/code-push#373 PR with docs updates.

@sergey-akhalkov Thanks!
